RESUMO
1. In the past, nursing practice toward incontinence has focused on urine containment and skin protection rather than on proactive treatment-oriented therapeutic care. 2. Accurate assessment and diagnosis of urinary incontinence determine the success of treatment. 3. Efforts directed at early identification, appropriate assessment and treatment, and linkage to community agencies should be initiated by the nurse.

Restraint use has been a recent focus of attention in long-term care facilities. The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities, and the Food and Drug Administration have devoted attention to the prudent use of restraints. The authors address efforts of an acute care facility to comply with these regulations.
